Blury color maps

daniellooartist

Quick substance designer question. Is it possible to get a non blurry version of a color map? It looks good on the model but I would prefer the sillowhets of my UV shell. I used the exact same settings as the Earl tutorial and his bakes out ok. Never the less these settings are very straight forward so why is mine blurry.

The bluring is padding, it's there to help reduce issues when the texture switches to a lower mip map.

It's a good thing.

That much I understand but was it at least be reduced?

Not when it has gradients rather than flat values it isn't (for an id map) — those make it pretty useless as a selection/mask. And mip-maps would only come into account if the colour id is being used in-engine as a mask.


I can't help with substance designer but I'd suggesting looking at their documentation and playing with settings (dilation set to 1? What does 'apply diffusion do?). You could also consider baking colour ID's in your modeling app, there are examples for a few packages here.

Got it. Turns out dilation width has to go up not down.
